Emsella: Comfortable and Effective Treatment for Urinary Incontinence and Intimate Health Issues
It can feel awkward to talk about urinary incontinence and intimate health issues, but most people will experience one or both of these at some point in their life. Although these types of problems are often the simple result of natural processes such as aging, childbirth, or menopause, they can still cause embarrassment and discomfort. However, our mission here at Tracy and Keim is to help our patients discover if they could feel better and function more normally as a result of superior care and treatment. To further that mission, we are excited to share the breakthrough technology of Emsella, a comfortable and effective treatment for urinary incontinence and intimate health issues.
How Emsella Works
Emsella utilizes electromagnetic energy to deliver thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions in a single, short session. Just one session is equivalent to 12,000 kegels. These contractions are a critical component in re-educating the muscles of incontinent patients to strengthen bladder control and reduce leaking. This form of pelvic floor therapy can also be helpful in treating erectile dysfunction in men and difficulty reaching orgasm in women.
Benefits of Emsella
Increased Bladder Control
As a person ages, the pelvic floor muscles weaken until they are not able to sufficiently support the pelvic organs, including the bladder. This weakening can lead to symptoms such as needing to go to the bathroom frequently or leaking after a sneeze or cough. While not dangerous, these symptoms can be inconvenient or embarrassing. Emsella helps to strengthen the pelvic floor quickly and with no effort on your part.
Improved Intimate Health Satisfaction
Pelvic floor weakness can also lead to sexual dysfunction in both men and women. The same muscles that support the bladder and rectum also support the uterus in women and prostate in men. Strengthening the pelvic floor with Emsella can enable patients to reach orgasm more easily and have increased sexual sensation, leading to a positive effective on intimate relationships and sexual well-being.
Comfortable and Non-invasive
Emsella is an FDA cleared device to address urinary incontinence and intimate health. Unlike many other treatments that deal with these issues, it is completely non-invasive. It is also a very quick and easy treatment with no downtime. Each session takes only 28 minutes, during which you can remain fully clothed and simply relax. Afterwards, you can get back to your life immediately!
Frequently Asked Questions
Is an Emsella Treatment Painful?
No, this treatment should cause no pain or discomfort. Patients will feel consistent tightening of the muscle and may feel a slight tingling or vibrating sensation. While this can feel strange, it is not painful. Most patients describe the treatment as quite comfortable.
How Long Does an Emsella Treatment Take?
Each individual Emsella treatment is only 28 minutes long. Depending on your pelvic floor health, our practitioners here at Tracy and Keim will help you determine how many treatments you need. Six treatments over the course of three weeks is typical for most patients.
What is a Treatment Like?
During your treatment, you will remain fully clothed. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that will allow you to sit up straight on the Emsella chair with your legs spread slightly apart. The Emsella treatment requires no effort on your part. All you have to do is sit for half an hour and let the device do its work! Feel free to bring a book and just take this time to relax.
When Will I See Results?
Many patients feel results immediately and report feeling tighter and stronger after the very first treatment. If this is not the case with you, don’t worry! Results can happen anytime throughout your treatment plan. Ultimate results are achieved about 90 days after your final treatment, when the muscle has had time to develop.
How Long Do Results Last?
How long the positive results from Emsella will last varies depending on the individual and the condition being treated. Most patients report continued satisfaction with the results of their treatment for up to a year. After the initial course of treatment, we recommend coming in for a maintenance treatment once or twice annually. Waiting longer can cause the pelvic muscles to weaken and may result in having to repeat the original series of treatments.
Is Emsella the Right Treatment for Me?
Emsella is a safe and effective treatment for both men and women, and 95% of patients who have tried it report improvement in their quality of life. However, Emsella may be inadvisable for certain individuals (such as pregnant women, or those with a pacemaker, IUD, or metal plates). If you are uncertain whether this treatment for incontinence and intimate health is right for you, please schedule an appointment for a free, no obligations consultation to learn more.
